Hours after a Fox News clip went viral, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong urged disillusioned staff from Elon Musk’s embattled DOGE task force to “jump ship,” unveiling an ultra-fast hiring lane at the exchange, according to an X post on May 13.Coinbase Launches Accelerated Interview Process For Ex-DOGE Staff“This is an open call for any @DOGE staff,” Armstrong wrote in reply to a Fox News video where one young DOGE employee documents the social challenges of working on the controversial initiative.This is an open call for any @DOGE staff.

Musk is slated to slowly reduce his time at the White House as he returns to running Tesla.The post Coinbase Fast-Tracks Ex-DOGE Staff Amid Musk Deregulation Backlash appeared first on Cryptonews.
